The CMS Reports component of Symposium presents independent monographs on subjects of interest to CMS members on an irregular basis. Twelve such reports have been published since 1983. These reports are differentiated from articles and reviews in Symposium by length and format. They have included statistical studies on such subjects as women and minorities in the music teaching profession, conference reports, and curriculum studies.
Authors of CMS Reports are expected to address the purpose, methodology, evidence and conclusions of a text, illustrating its components with appropriate examples. Notable flaws of methodology and content should be identified in a non-judgemental manner. Such studies should be geared toward the realities of subject matter rather than what is lacking.
The length of a CMS Report is variable, being longer than articles or reviews, but confined to monograph rather than regular book length, in consideration of the fact that such exemplars will be published on-line. Graphics, images, video and sound files, and music examples that illuminate the text are encouraged. I invite you to review the Guidelines for Authors and the Call for Submissions.
Your submissions are welcome at any time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Questions and correspondence concerning CMS Reports should be addressed to:
